Directions

From Interstate 95 - North or South

Take I-95 to Exit 32 (Biddeford, Rt. 111) and take a left at the end of the ramp onto Route 111 East.
You will go straight through several traffic lights, until you reach the intersection with U.S. Route 1,
make sure to stay in the right lane, even when you get to the intersection with Route 1. At the
intersection with Route 1, take a left (onto Route 1 North) and then an IMMEDIATE right, so that you
are staying on Route 111 East. About 1/4 mile down, bear left onto Graham Street (rear entrance to
Hannaford Supermarket will be on your left when you do this). Go straight through two stop signs and
our church will be on your right a few hundred feet after the second stop sign. Parking is on the street
in the area of the church.

From Northern New Hampshire and Northwestern Maine (directions from Fryeburg, Maine)

From Fryeburg, take Routes 5 and 113 South. You will pass through the towns of Brownfield and
Hiram, and once you are in Baldwin, take a right where Route 5 turns to the right. Take a right at the
end of this road, staying on Route 5, and about a mile or so take the left turn where Route 5 turns.
Proceed straight through Limerick and Waterboro, and turn right onto Route 35 when you reach the
town of Dayton (there is a blinking yellow light at the intersection with Route 35). Go a few miles and
you come to Route 111, take a left onto Route 111 East. Once you come into the city of Biddeford (if
you see a BIG shopping center with a Target store on your right, you are in Biddeford!), you will go
straight through several traffic lights, until you reach the intersection with U.S. Route 1, make sure to
stay in the right lane, even when you get to the intersection with Route 1. At the intersection with
Route 1, take a left (onto Route 1 North) and then an IMMEDIATE right, so that you are staying on
Route 111 East. About 1/4 mile down, bear left onto Graham Street (rear entrance to Hannaford
Supermarket will be on your left when you do this). Go straight through two stop signs and our church
will be on your right a few hundred feet after the second stop sign. Parking is on the street in the area
of the church.
